LSU OL suspended

Hearing it's grades, but that makes 4 OL out just during the offseason. Nm.

They also had a lineman get burglary charges (? breaking and entering ? theft - not sure exact charges) dropped by DA over last few days. They literally had video of him breaking into the apartment with his lsu jersey on.

When the occupant got home, the player was around (they were neighbors or something), occupant said he was going to look at the video to see who it was. FB player knew he would be on it, so he went to get the stolen stuff and brought it back. Charges filed but magically dropped now.

Even the afternoon sports radio guy (just a little bit of a homer) was making fun of how shady it was. THEY HAD FREAKING VIDEO OF IT

Like the lawyer for the qb a few years ago, "That blood on his shoe could have come from anybody's head!"

I like coach O for entertainment purposes but I'm 99% sure he'll fail at LSU. I just hope it takes 3 or 4 years and the program turns into a giant dumpster fire before the corn dogs figure it out.

I am getting 2014 vibes about September 16th. This is a game we need to win at home. DWS will be electric and I don't fear them whatsoever.

They'll figure it out way before then. I think if he goes 8-4 2 years in a row they'll be calling Jimbo up again.

They can call Jimbo all they want to, he ain't coming. I do agree they'll be ready to move on from O the Coach in 2-3 years. Just don't see him as the long-term answer for any school. He gets more credit than he deserves for the interim periods at USC and LSU, but he really only has one big win in those times (Stanford). The teams he beat at LSU were ranked at the time, but they were all in a tailspin the second half of the season.

 

[thatsbaseball]

I'll say this about that game. If we get out-played and lose I'll be pissed....If we get out coached and lose I'll be unfit to be around other people.

I agree. Everytime I think back to the 2007 egg bowl and how he just gave that game away it blows my mind. He had a 14 point lead in the fourth quarter against the gulf coast offense that hadnt done anything all day and he just made one boneheaded decision after another.

I hope you guys are right and he doesn't succeed at LSU. Problem, as I see it, is that he is a good motivator, good recruiter, and seems to have a pretty good coaching staff at LSU. This would seem to be what is required for a winning program. Maybe there is something that I'm missing about Orgeron that will cause him to fail.

They have a heck of a DC though. I'll be glad to see that dude leave LSU.

I agree with you, but it probably depends on what your definition of succeed is.

He's basically going to be a Miles that gives his coordinators more control. He's going to manage the program and they are going to win 8-10 games a year, depending on the quality of his staff and how much turnover he has.

He's not going to turn LSU into a doormat, but he's also not going to turn the SECW back into the Bama versus LSU league that it was before Miles fell off. I think that's about the best case scenario other SECW fans can hope for. If he does tank, it will just move LSU that much closer to hiring a coach that will make them a national championship contender again.
